    Don't do it!

    Please expand.

    examples depend on what age bracket we're going back to, lol

    don't try and make that jump on my bike
    don't try and make that jump on my skis
    don't try jumping off the garage roof
    don't try and squeeze through that hole
    don't try and climb that tree
    don't try and cut that rock with my knife...

    still probably wouldn't have listened though with a can do attitude, lol

    - well done for walking away from the girls who were mean to you and bullied you every day at school. Half of them have no education and have babies and don't know who the father is

    - you will travel the world

    -keep reading, enjoying music and doing your own thing

    -don't tell that guy you love him

    - don't fall for the bad boys
    - have more fun and don't settle!
    - go after your dreams
    - make the boys chance you... Don't chance them
    - figure out who you are sooner!

    -Don't ever stop being yourself. The right people will find you and love the person that you are, not the person you want the world to see.
    -Don't be so serious all the time. Make sure to take time out for fun.
    -Live in the present, but don't forget the lessons that the past taught you. Don't get caught up in what might be in the future. You can plan your life out to a T, but it won't always go according to your plan. The universe has other things in store for you.
    -You need to be able to let others help you when you need help. You are not Wonder Woman in thinking you can do EVERYTHING for EVERYONE.
    -Make yourself a priority. That's the only person you're left with at the end of the day.

    Be absolutely, unflinchingly honest; you may not like it and others may not like it, but it means there is no ambiguity and longer-term heartbreak. White lies are still lies.

    1. Just because his friends dont seem to like you, doesn't mean he doesnt. His dateing you so listen to him and not his mates... (Hard lesson learnt)

    2. You can eat that much and stay slim now, but it will catch up with you in the end, be careful. (Still not quite sinking in)

    Other than those two, I wouldnt change a thing.

    I would say to everyone - Everything in life is a learning curve, dont live with regrets learn from them and turn them around.

    there is no single thing that gonna mess up your whole life like you think... bad exam results, getting sacked, any ofthe stuff you thik will be the finish of you, it is not.

    don't get as fat; seriously, battling your way down from morbid obesity is so hard, dont let it get so far gone, you need to listen to your sister, she is right!!

    Be yourself and dont let them make you believe you bad- just because no one in school likes the way you are, you will meet people in your adult life who will.

    *Your first husband isn't what he seems
    *Neither is your second
    *Yes, you CAN wear that and you will regret not wearing it when you are fatter and older
    *Do the photo shoot...so you can look back on yourself in your prime -you were pretty cute, girl!
    *Start your IRA NOW, not later
    *Don't rely on good genetics and decent metabolism
    *Wear sunscreen
    *Insist on a second opinion when the first guy said it wasn't cancer

    Take each person as they come along
    Be generous with your love and time
    Defend those who cannot defend themselves
    Compare yourself to none because you lose sight on who you are
    Be a better person today than you were yesterday
    Sometimes life is going to serve you a crap sandwich and you might have to take a bite to get through till tomorrow.
